While the NZ dollar has been so strong over the last few weeks, it was a great opportunity to do some shopping online on Amazon. Here are the books I’ve bought recently: Geek books: Active Directory, 3rd Edition by by Joe Richards, Robbie Allen, Alistair Lowe-NorrisThis is the Active Directory bible as far as I’m […]

It’s not the first time I’ve been published internationaly, but this is kinda cool! Hi Stuart, I am writing to let you know that two of your photos with a Creative Commons license have been short-listed for inclusion in the third edition of our Schmap Wellington Guide, to be published mid-August 2007. www.schmap.com/shortlist/p=95555995N00/c=SE51022406 Clicking this […]

As I posted before, I made it along to the Gadgets, Games and Geeks event that was hosted by Unlimited Potential (UP) at the Wellington Convention Center. It was an interesting night, I wasn’t too sure what to expect but I was hoping that there would be lots of gadgets to look at. Disappointingly there […]

Haven’t been blogging much recently, as you can tell by the lack of posts. I’d like to say that I’ve been too busy (I have) but the amount of time I’ve been spending on Facebook says otherwise. Anyway, I’m heading along to the Gadgets, Games and Geeks event hosted by Unlimited Potential (UP) tomorrow evening […]

The post that gets me into the search results was titled: “Height of Laziness” and was linking to a Gizmodo article. So hopefully whoever found my site might consider actually taking their dogs for a real walk – […]

As Wanda Martha just mentioned, last night we had the first meetup of the Wellington Bloggers Facebook group (or the catchy ‘WBFG‘ for short) at the Southern Cross bar. It was great fun and quite surreal meeting bloggers in real life for the first time – especially as we already knew so too much about […]

Auckland based site, Eventfinder, have been rolling out heaps of new features recently with a focus on the social networking aspects of finding and attending events. Each registered user gets a profile page and can add friends to their network to keep up to date with what events their friends are attending. This is a […]

I try to stay away from politics as rule-of-thumb, but I find this interesting: LATEST: Environment Minister David Benson-Pope has resigned from Cabinet after being found to have misled the public. This wasn’t the first time that this minister was caught being ‘economical with the truth’ and looks like he got what was coming to […]

I’ve been creating a bunch of WordPress plugins recently. They are really easy to make and the documentation is great. I don’t really know much about PHP but it has the same structure as the way I write VBscript, i.e. write a bunch of functions, then call them with parameters. Most of the plugins I’ve […]
